décharger

== French == === Etymology === Inherited from Old French deschargier, from Late Latin discarricāre, from carricō, from Latin carrus (“four-wheeled baggage wagon”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /de.ʃaʁ.ʒe/ === Verb === décharger to unload; offload to discharge to let off (remove the guilt from someone) to remove a charge from (reflexive) to offload (ejaculate) ==== Conjugation ==== This is a regular -er verb, but the stem is written décharge- before endings that begin with -a- or -o- (to indicate that the -g- is a "soft" /ʒ/ and not a "hard" /ɡ/). This spelling change occurs in all verbs in -ger, such as neiger and manger. ==== Related terms ==== charger === Further reading === “décharger”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012
